Sunday David


The Nations reports that his blood splashed on the seats of his
newly bought Toyota Camry saloon car; the side glass and the
open roof were shattered.
An eyewitness said:
“It was at the point of searching that the police realised he was
one of their own. The man shot two people, one in the chest
and the other in the neck. He lives around here and they said
he was running when those chasing him caught up with him in
traffic and killed him.

“We heard that nothing was taken from his car. The people he
shot were rushed to the hospital but we later heard they died in
the hospital.”


Another eyewitness told The Nation that the late policeman just
opened fire on the victims on a football pitch. The late Sunday,
who is survived by three children, is in trouble because of the
guns found on him, according to senior police officer. This is
against Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Solomon Arase’s
direction which forbids policemen from going home with their
guns.


Police spokesman Joseph Offor, a Deputy Superintendent of
police (DSP), said one of the victims was responding to
treatment. The other did not survive. According to Offor, the
corporal was driving with his friend identified as Taiwo
Balogun before they were shot by unknown assailants.


“One Raheem Sulaiman of 18, Adeyinka Road, Orile Agege
sustained gunshot wound on the neck. Corpses of the dead
have been deposited at the Mainland General Hospital for
autopsy. The injured is receiving treatment at the Ikeja General
Hospital.
“Investigation is ongoing and the matter will be transferred to
the State Criminal Investigations Department (SCID), Panti,”
he
said.

Meanwhile, one person was reportedly killed following a fatal
accident involving two trailers at tollgate Ota along Abeokuta-
Lagos expressway.
